Who else is on their payroll? Corruption is alive & well in the pet food industry & our gov't.

Not sure whats in these treats,but i do not give them to my dog anymore.Beings there is a recall on these, kind of makes you wonder whats in them. Please let me know if your dog or dogs has had any of these symptoms.Bestros is the carrier,not sure who makes them tho. I will check into this. All of these dogs had some sort of a blockage in ther intestines, never had it until given these treats.I was lucky enough that my dog who is only two survived this ordeal."

He was extremely ill, bleeding internally and a couple more hours would have resulted in a fatality, I believe that wal-mart is neglegant for this and am hoping someone else has had the same problem, please respond."

What a load of BS. 17 tests show melamine and the state chemist doesn't find anything? I'll bet there is something else he woudn't be able to find with both hands. WTF?

Noel, Ph.D. is a National Pet Food Commission member. He is also the AAFCO Secretary-Treasurer. Somebody so incestuously involved with the AAFCO certainly cannot be trusted to produce results that even glance at the truth. What moron would let a pet food industry flunkie into that kind of position? Chemist? Scientist? Not bloody likely! Indiana is in a LOT of trouble , the whole state could be radioactive and glowing and this boyo aint gonna figure it out. Well here is the problem

I got a bag about a month ago. I cut them in half because I have small dogs and each dog got half of one twice in the first week, and at least once in the two following weeks. During that time I noticed what looked like vomit or diarrhea (hard to tell with one of my dogs sometimes) and inappropriate elimination (loss of house training). Some how I never connected the dots until the Wal-mart started pulling them from the shelves. I had stopped giving them to my dogs (the only change in their diet) and the problems have stopped. No body seemed particularly sick though so though I was wondering what was going on with them, I didn't think the 100% chicken breast was the problem. Well, I think something was wrong with them.
